A few years ago, four students at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama were brought together as a wind quartet to participate in the Carlisle Cathedral Composition Competition. Recognising the challenge and enjoyment of the wind quartet repertoire, Katie Punter, Marian Gray, Susannah Hallas and Fraser Gordon continued to work together regularly as a chamber group, and thus Illuminati came into being.
This quartet of dynamic young players are very enthusiastic about uncovering lesser known contemporary repertoire and equally keen to introduce this to their audiences alongside more familiar works. They have aquired a reputation for energy and sparkle in their playing as well as for entertaining rapport with their audience.
The ensemble performs regularly in recital halls, festivals and music society concerts. As recent winners of the Tunnell Trust Award Scheme they will embark on a series of concerts from autumn 2008 that will see them touring many Scottish venues including the Western Isles. Please the concerts page for further details.
The site will also be continually updated to let you know the group’s news as well as regular updates on our concerts.
